Thanks man. And yea, pretty sure you have and drove your car home afterward. Some men just love the feel of a kirkey the whole way home.

I honestly had to look up the name and car. Seems his car was quite the beast. I don't think mine will get to his level but I haven't always done responsible things with my money so anything is possible.

The coil overs are pretty high and it still rode too low. 2 step was in the car but I really didn't mess with it. I tried earlier to use it with a 5k limit but it would just blow off the tires.
Good show!

Be prepared for a bit of modification to get the 28's to fit. You're on the right track with adjustable LCA's - you're gonna need them, and a BFH for the inside wheel wells.

No worries. Realized today the video is on some other random YouTube account. Google tried to be smart and...wasn't. I will get it on the blackbirdws6 channel.

I think front to back is looking favorable. I am not looking forward to BFH my inner fenders
